  • Episode 86: Tippin' On Four Fours

    Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Pod Boys are still trying to figure out their schedules.

    Marcus didn't lend a helping hand when a man with a motorcycle almost got crushed by it.

    Sefa enjoyed Canada Day and got 13,000 steps in.

    Though it wasn't planned, the boys get into tipping at restaurants and just want these workers to get paid a livable wage.

    A young Samoan kid lost his scholarship after getting into a racial exchange in the comments on TikTok.

    Where do you go from here?

  • The Pasefika Movie Starter Kit | Ep. 18 - House of the Dragon

    Is Fantasy fully mainstream and accepted now? Even in Islander circles? We think so, either way this series is for the Dragons, Dreamers and Knights:

    THE POLYTICKIN NETWORK PRESENTS

    The Pasefika Movie Starter Kit soars on dragonback across the Narrow Sea and smackhammer into the middle of a royal family feuding through a messy succession, and their plots, schemes and horrors before a war kicks off. Did we mention there are dragons, who are about to get ACTIVE? There's also more adult concepts like abedding your Queen Dowager while an assassination attempt is successfully carried out down the hallway, or kinslaying, or heirslaying (RIP Young Jaehaerys) or King's Landing resource hoarding and chicken inflation. If you're trying to get caught up on HBO's "House of the Dragon", we're here for you with an all-over conversational recap on what's brought us here: frickin Otto Hightower skirting his duty to honoring his King and his heir and deciding instead to insert his family into the Targaryen dinasty-- breathe. Exhale. Smh, this guy. There are tons of characters and relationships that weave together these stories from the Dance of the Dragons. We give you what we know so far. So much more to come as Season 2 enters some of its best episodes. Let us know what pivotal parts of Vhagar- ahem, of Rhaenyra's story we didn't get to this time.

    Which character interests you the most? Who are you rooting for? Who do you want to know more about? What do you think Helaena seeing the slow-motion hops/leaves falling while on the funeral procession will come to mean? Which Targaryen family member do you think will be the last Dragon standing? Piece of garbage Ser Criston Cole for Biggest Rise in History of the Realm Award, this guy went from Squire to Hand of the King! and bed of the Queen's childhood best friend. Declare for your Team, Black or Green.

    The Pasefika Movie Starter Kit | Ep. 17 - Take Home Pay


    The Starter Kit calls on Auckland's most enigmatic Private Investigator to track down a runaway brother, and we're uncomfortably confident he'll come through in the end. This movie was a lot of things, we talk about them all: the brothers' acting, the Polynesian martial art of Limalama, multiple movie parts being memorable but disjointed, the High Note Challenge, your friends trying to embarrass you when you're talking to a girl, the cameos, the chase scenes, the final fight and more. We'll introduce you to the characters, break down the scenes and give our final scores for


    Take Home Pay

  • Episode 85: You Look At 'Em

    Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Pod Boys is in the building because Sefa was off.

    Marcus had a terrible catch-up and only took a break from the internet. So cool.

    Sefa just got back from his Hawaii trip and it's always nice to see family when it doesn't involve tragedy.

    The Pod Boys wonder why Samoans make crying during a speech in front of your family a thing.

    Sefa lets Marcus know that some of our Hispanic delegation wanted representation during Kendrick Lamar's The Pop Out event on Juneteenth.

    We ain't gotta be invited to everything.

  • Episode 84: Ken and Friends

    Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Movie Boys are back so where are you?

    Lance watched Inside Out 2 and it made him cry only once so is it a good Pixar movie?

    Marcus has just been watching House of the Dragon and is finally caught up with everyone else two years later.

    The Network Boys then get into the casting of the live-action Moana movie coming in the future and discuss a particular tweet denouncing the franchise because Disney hasn't put any money in the pockets of our people.

    Well...yeah. They're a corporation they don't give a damn about us. But to discredit the movie as doing nothing is objectively wrong so.

    Anyway, the Celtics won their 18th NBA title and the boys could care less. It's Lakers.

    Finally, the boys try to figure out how to be better disciplined because damn it's easy to not be.

  • Episode 83: FestPAC

    Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Network is strong my friends.

    A little different today as Sef couldn't make the Weekly recording so The Movie Boys got the juice now.

    Marcus was bamboozled by Apple TV when he paid $30 for Take Home Pay instead of the advertised $12.99.

    Lance was shown the door at his girl's cousin's baby shower along with the other men in the family.

    It worked out because they ended up golfing for the day.

    The Movie Boys then give their flowers to The Festival of Pacific Arts and Culture, a showcase "celebrating the unique traditions, artistry, and diverse cultures of the Pacific region."

    One country in particular declined their spot in the festival because of the civil unrest that is currently happening out there over the French government allowing non-residents of New Caledonia to be able to vote.

    The indigenous people of the area are none too pleased.

    Also, what are the worst stereotypes that a bald person has?

Sefa M and Lance Faletogo head down memory lane to give their stories and stats on everything from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air's most memorable moments to which starter Pokemon you should begin your Trainer journey with. You'll listen and say "Oh yup, I remember that" or be screaming the answers to things we forget lol.
